As a snack rich in vitamins and nutrients, natural aloe vera jelly is becoming a promising ingredient in the F&B sector, thanks to its light taste that blends easily with desserts and beverages. At GC Food, the product is made from premium aloe vera leaves and is strictly monitored under international standards to ensure freshness, safety, and convenient packaging for both consumers and businesses.
1. What is natural aloe vera jelly?
Aloe vera jelly is made from the clear gel found inside aloe leaves. The flesh of aloe vera is rich in amino acids and bioactive compounds, while being low in calories. According to research from Mount Alvernia Hospital in Singapore, aloe vera jelly contains only about 31 calories, allowing consumers to enjoy it freely without worrying about excess calorie intake.
The gel also contains natural anti-inflammatory agents such as salicylic acid, along with C-glucosyl chromone. These compounds help inhibit acid production and support the body’s natural anti-inflammatory response.
In addition, the high water content of aloe gel helps the body maintain natural hydration. For this reason, aloe vera jelly is often combined with desserts as well as refreshing drinks to cool our bodies on hot days.
Along with its appealing taste, the jelly is also packed with vitamins A, C, and E, together with minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and potassium. These nutrients support overall health and maintain youthful skin. Aloe vera jelly is also rich in fiber, which aids digestion, relieves constipation, and stimulates bowel movement.
Moreover, natural aloe vera is one of the few plant-based sources that provide vitamin B12 and folic acid, making it beneficial for people who need extra micronutrients. This group of B vitamins also contributes to reducing stress and fatigue.
2. GC Food’s aloe vera jelly production process and quality standards
To ensure both quality and food safety, GC Food’s aloe vera jelly-making and packaging process is strictly controlled in accordance with FSSC 22000, HALAL, and FDA standards.
2.1 Raw material control
The raw materials used for aloe vera jelly are strictly tested for quality and safety, and verified for their origin. GC Food only works with suppliers that are certified and regularly evaluated, making sure the ingredients brought into production are free from harmful substances for consumers.
2.2 Strict management in production
The entire processing of the GC Food aloe vera jelly is conducted in accordance with strict international standards. Each step is carefully monitored, from maintaining temperature and processing time to regular checks of physicochemical and microbiological indicators.
It is important to note that natural aloe vera contains aloin, a compound that, if consumed in excess, may cause digestive issues and irritation. To address this, the GC Food aloe vera jelly products are specially treated to completely remove aloin while retaining the natural flavor and nutrients of aloe vera.
At the same time, cleaning and sterilization of factories plus equipment are carried out regularly to eliminate the risk of cross-contamination. Through these procedures, the final products consistently achieve high quality and the highest level of safety for consumers.
2.3 Finished product evaluation and inspection
In the final stage, every batch of GC Food products is carefully inspected before release. Representative samples are thoroughly analyzed for microbiological and physicochemical properties, as well as through sensory evaluation, to ensure that safety, taste, and color standards are met.
Packaging and labeling are also checked in detail to confirm that the information is complete, clear, and free of leakage or damage. In addition, a portion of each batch is stored under regulated conditions as reference samples, giving the company a basis for verification if any market feedback arises.
This meticulous control in every detail is the ultimate guarantee of the high quality and strong reputation of the GC Food aloe vera jelly in the international market.
